I walk a middle path between extremes, staying grounded in the present moment rather than becoming lost in future fears or past grievances. Above all, I extend loving-kindness to everyone affected by these changes—including myself.

My Zen practice isn’t an escape from difficult realities but a way to engage with them with wisdom, compassion, and purpose.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What I desire most in the midst of these varied activities is to cultivate equanimity, in an experiential rather than conceptual way. I do not think I need any more concepts. Aren’t we all drenched in enough competing concepts?

What would be best, I think, is an experiential path to equanimity involving a practice that helps me observe my reactions to life’s ups and downs without getting swept away by them. What are your thoughts about these kinds of things?

Do these responses resonate or sync with your thoughts at the current moment? Do they acknowledge the harm that Trump’s policies caused while also focusing on the work that needs to be done to move past our divisions?

On the other hand, I dedicate time to walking every morning, embracing movement as self-care. My thoughts flow freely during this time - perhaps I’m not an amateur at reflection but rather a person dedicated to developing this skill with each passing day. For too long, I’ve been my harshest critic. No one knows me better than myself, which allows me a unique power to recognize my capacity for growth.

Having insisted we wake to his schedule, the song thrush made us take our #MorningWalk early. Probably no bad thing,
Anyway, here is the blighter, singing as though he hasn't wrought havoc on the household
